Ping!  I'd like to ask Linus to pull the tile tree now that 3.12 is open.
Let me know if this would be problematic for you.  

I think the tile KVM bits are in good enough shape that it makes sense
to pull them, and if there are follow-up concerns they can be addressed
later in the 3.12-rc series, or in future kernel releases.

In particular, it's probably worth noting the one generic change in the
series, which is adding a KVM_EXIT_AGAIN value.  If this seems like it
might be problematic, I can pull it for now and leave it for later review;
it's basically just a performance optimization.

The v3 series is at:

Thank you!
